Top twenty smartest kid's names revealed - Is your child's name on the list?

If it is something you're struggling with, the below list could help you come to a decision - or alternatively, it might help you realise you've made the correct decision for the kids you've already named.

Alex Dyer, founder of Tutor House, said: "Parents often spend a great deal of time deliberating on what name to give their child, and rightly so.

"It forms part of your child’s identity, with social science studies finding that a name can influence careers, personality traits and even physicality.

"With that in mind, and considering the wealth of data we have, we thought it would be interesting to see what names are most commonly associated with being academically gifted.

"While obviously your name has no reflection on your potential, the results are still interesting and might prove useful for parents who are struggling to settle on a name."
